About The Orchard Primary School

The Orchard Primary School in Hounslow holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its graded inspections. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Hounslow local authority average of 70%, and places the school 39th out of 44 primary schools in the borough. In the national rankings, it falls within the bottom 50% of schools. The school’s ranking score of 57 reflects a significant gap to the top performers in the area, such as St Michael and St Martin Catholic Primary School, which scores 97 and sits just 0.7 km away.
